If you like coconut cake, you'll love this. It's a little involved to make but worth it. Turns out very pretty and impressed my mothers's friends when she made it for a reunion. Recipe says to make the ginger-lime curd a couple of days in advance. The cooking times are approximates depending on how fast you work. From Bon Appetit June 2004. (Reviews on Bon Appetit's web site were good but some reviewers said the cake was too dry. I did not find that to be true.)

I have been looking all over for a marshmallow frosting recipe.
A childhood frinds mom use to always make devils food cake with marshmallow frosting. I always wanted the recipe just never got around to asking for it. i remember her saying that there were no marshmallows in it. When I found this recipe I knew I just had to try it. I just got done making it and it was almost exact. It didnt turn out quite as thick as my friends moms but that could just be my doing. I didnt have the ingredients for the ginger lime cake part. But I did have a box of cake mix. This was fantastic. Next time I will make sure to whisk my egg whites better before placing over the simmering water.
Thanks for sharing.
